FC/01 To confirm the Minutes of the meeting of Finance Committee of the Institute held

on 28-09-2015 at 10.15 a.m. in the NIT Transit House, Safdaerjung Enclave, New

Delhi.

Resolution

No.01/FC

The minutes of the meeting were circulated among the members. Some comments were

received from Director (NITs), MHRD in respect of some items and are reproduced

below: -

2

01/FC It was pointed out that minutes should be elaborate containing briefly the

agenda, resolution and justification of resolution. It was also asked by FC

that FC should be numbered and should be mentioned in minutes

henceforth. 02/FC NIT Srinagar was asked to conduct frequent meeting so that ratifications

are minimized. 03/FC Director can appoint staff non academic staff in any cadre with maximum

pay scale upto Rs. 10,500/-. Therefore, appointment made is beyond the

power of the Director. However, given the importance of post, FC

recommends the Board to approve the appointment ex-post-facto w.e.f

date on which Director approved the appointments made under agenda

item FC/03/(a) of Mrs Kusum, as Sanitary worker and Mr Firoz Ahmad

Malla as full time counselor in medical unit. It was told by Administration

of NIT Srinagar that process stipulated in Statute has been followed in

both cases. 06/FC Circular of Ministry of Labour may be adhered to. Also NIT, Srinagar

should determine which rates are applicable-collector rate or rates

specified by Ministry of Labour. 08/FC FC deliberated the issue. It was noted that remunerations recommended

for faculty with M.Tech/M. Phil. qualification was Rs 37,000/-.

Subsequently, the contract faculty represented before authorities of

Institute. Subsequently, a meeting of Deans and HoDs was held on

15/9/2015, which recommended total pay of Rs 45,000 per month to retain

and attract faculty. FC also noted that Srinagar is a difficult station and

hence, better remuneration will be helpful to gaining and retaining faculty.

Hence, FC concurs with recommendations of NIT Srinagar for enhancing

remuneration from Rs 33,000/- to Rs. 45,000/- for the faculty M.Tech/M.

Phil. qualification and employed as contract basis and recommends the

case to BOG.

The comments were clarified through a clarification as under: -

FC/03 i) Regarding Engagement of Counselor: -

In compliance with the instructions of MHRD to engage a full time

counselor in the Institute for counseling of students in the distress

so that any misfortune incident like that of IIT Gowhati is avoided.

A proposal was put up to the Chairman, BOG for approval to

engage a full time Counselor on contract basis through a process of

open selection on the following terms and conditions : -

● Qualification Minimum Post Graduate in Psychology

from recognized university / institution ● Experience Minimum 1 year relevant experience

● Remuneration Rs.28,000/- p.m. (Consolidated)

Subsequently, advertisement was made for same on contractual

basis on 59 days basis with usual break of two working days on

monthly remuneration of Rs. 28,000 as consolidated. After

conducting interviews, Mr. Feroz Ahmad Malla was engaged.

3

ii)

Regarding engagement of Female Sanitary Worker:

Ladies toilets in the different blocks of the Institute were not in

good sanitary conditions due to the fact that these were not being

attended regularly. The reason for this was that the male sanitary

workers attending these blocks for such job feel some hesitation to

enter the ladies toilets. In view of this, a proposal was put up to the

Chairman, BOG for approval for engagement of a female sanitary

worker on contractual basis of 59 days on the approved wages as

per J&K labour wages schedule as a skill workers.

Subsequently advertisement was made and interviews were held

by the Selection Committee, Mrs. Kulsum was engaged as female

sanitary worker in the institute on 59 days contractual basis with

usual break of two working days on minimum wages schedule

approximately working out to Rs. 6750/- p.m. @ 225/- per day.

Thus from the above, it is clear that the Director did not approve

these appointments on his own. The items were placed in the FC for

ratification of the action taken by the Chairman, BOG and not for

post facto approval.

FC/01

and

FC/06

The comments have been incorporated.

FC/08 The suggestions in the draft have been incorporated. Regarding the

consolidated remuneration of persons with Ph.D., the amount worked

out is submitted in the ATR of FC under item no. FC/02.

Subsequently no further comments were received.

The minutes of the said meeting are therefore confirmed with incorporation of the

following modifications: -

01/FC It was pointed out that minutes should be elaborate containing briefly the

agenda, resolution and justification of the resolution for each agenda item.

The FC further desired that the meetings of the FC should be numbered

and these numbers should be mentioned in the minutes henceforth.

03/FC The FC further desired that the vacant posts in the Institute should be

filled up expeditiously by regular employees and the Institute should

desist from going in for contractual appointments. It was also desired that

no contractual appointment should continue for a period of more than

NITs and also that the procedure prescribed under Statutes No. 28(3) for

all such appointments should be strictly adhered to. Moreover, the total

4

06/FC The Circular of the Ministry of Labour may be adhered to. Also NIT,

Srinagar should determine which rates are applicable-Collector rates or

helpful in attracting and retaining faculty. Hence, the FC concurs with the

recommendations of NIT, Srinagar for enhancing the remuneration from

Rs 33,000/- to Rs. 45,000/- for the faculty with M.Tech/M. Phil.

qualification and employed on as contract and recommends the case to

the BOG.

FC/10 To consider the representation of the Mess Workers of Jehlum Mess

for regularization in the Institute.

No. 10/FC After thorough discussion on the issue, the FC noted that:

• The Hon’ble High Court of J&K has directed the institute to

consider regularization of Mess workers vide its orders of 2000

and 2015 against the vacancies subject to their eligibility as per

prescribed norms.

• The High Court order is based on BOG order no. 34/2000

wherein it has been mentioned that after adjusting the regular

temporary staff in the Institute, these mess workers shall be

considered.

• Ruling of the constitutional Bench of Supreme Court of India in

the case Uma Devi and others has made it clear that the

temporary and casual workers cannot be regularized without

regular selection process against vacancies.
